Media Production

Summary

Following my graduation in Arts, I concentrated on Media Production in a variety of university media dept's.


I relocated from Perth, Western Australia to Victoria to take advantage of the rising media industry.


I decided to study technical aspects of media, to add to my media production skills. I secured a position in an animation studio for broadcast ventured, and learnt a great deal in this area.


The jobs I successfully applied for led me into Media Management, and Management in general. The positions allowed me to participate in small and large team efforts.
